Uncle Yue walked out of the cave, and the sword light swept up everyone, flying upward. In the blink of an eye, they broke through layer upon layer of thick fog and saw the clear sky.
After joining the Kuaiyin Sect, not only could they not leave the sect, but they couldn't even leave the Yinsha Abyss.
Spending the whole day in the deep abyss, where the wind howled and the fog enveloped, some couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long howl, relieving the pressure in their hearts.
The sword light rushed straight to the mountain top, breaking through the cloud layers, and finally landed in front of a cave. The cave was also carved into the cliff, with various mysterious restrictions appearing and disappearing on the door, giving it an incredibly mysterious feel.
The leader of the Kuaiyin Sect was cultivating inside this cave, where the spirit tablet of the founder, Kuaiyin Laozu, was placed. The Kuaiyin Sect held all its meetings in this cave.
Uncle Yue bowed respectfully to the cave and said, "Master, I have brought this batch of disciples."
The cave door opened silently, and a deep voice came from inside.
"Come in."
All the disciples followed Uncle Yue obediently, not daring to act rashly. They had expected the inside to be like a fairyland, but it turned out to be quite simple.
There were no decorations along the way, and the walls on both sides of the cave were smooth. After walking for a while, they arrived at a magnificent hall.
Uncle Yue knelt down in front, "Disciple Yue Wu pays respects to Master."
Qin Sang hurriedly knelt down as well, not daring to raise her head, and greeted the leader as Uncle Yue had instructed.
Four dragon pillars stood at the four corners of the hall, each holding a fist-sized pearl that illuminated every corner of the hall. The hall was simply furnished, with a portrait of the founder, Kuaiyin Laozu, hanging on the far wall. Below the portrait were several armchairs, and a man sat in one of them, the current leader of the Kuaiyin Sect, Yi Tianne.
Leader Yi wore a simple blue robe, and his appearance was surprisingly young, looking like he was the same age as Qin Sang and the others, while his disciple Yue Wu looked more like his grandfather.
Leader Yi said gently, "Rise."
Qin Sang took the opportunity to sneak a look at the leader and was shocked by his appearance. She had heard that their leader was nearly five hundred years old but looked so young.
Yue Wu turned sideways and pointed to the row of disciples behind him, "Master, this time, seventeen disciples have met the requirements, and they are all here."
Leader Yi 'hmm'ed, a smile of approval on his face, "To have seventeen disciples break through to the sixth level of the Qi Condensation stage, Yue Wu, you have done a great job."
Yue Wu's eyes lit up with excitement, and he quickly said, "Disciple dares not take credit. It is the disciple's duty to alleviate the master's concerns, and I will do my utmost."
Leader Yi pondered for a moment and said, "I see that you have already broken through to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment. Here are some insights I had on the *Tongxuan Record* during my Foundation Establishment stage. Take them and study them."
Leader Yi pointed his finger, and a streak of spiritual light flew out, entering Yue Wu's forehead.
Yue Wu was overjoyed, "Disciple thanks Master!"
Leader Yi nodded and then said to the disciples below, "Yue Wu should have already told you that if you can break through to the sixth level of the Qi Condensation stage before this, the sect will reward you with an excellent magical artifact. Now, you can choose one for yourselves."
As he spoke, Leader Yi lightly pressed his storage bag, and over twenty dazzling streaks of light flew out, the glow of the magical artifacts illuminating the hall.
*Whoosh, whoosh...*
These magical artifacts flew in front of everyone, circling around them. All the artifacts were enveloped in a glow, and Qin Sang tried to probe them with her spiritual sense but was blocked by the glow. The *Qi Sensing Technique* couldn't penetrate the glow either, so they had to rely on their own judgment to choose. The quality of the artifact they ended up with would depend entirely on luck.
Since they were all excellent magical artifacts, their power was similar, but their focuses were different.
The others, like Qin Sang, were seeing so many excellent magical artifacts for the first time and were dazzled, wishing they could own them all.
Just as everyone was hesitating, a senior disciple named Yang Yuancang suddenly leaped up and reached out to grab a streak of light.
This streak of light contained a sword-shaped magical artifact.
It was clear that this was likely a spirit sword. In the world of cultivation, purely offensive magical artifacts with sufficient power were extremely rare, and each one was invaluable. Senior Yang had made a good choice.
The glow dissipated as soon as Senior Yang grabbed it, and the spirit sword fell into his hand, returning to its normal size.
A three-foot-long green sword was surrounded by a continuous flow of green-black cold energy, which was chilling and resembled a chi dragon, with faint dragon roars echoing.
Senior Yang held the sword and stood in the air, the chi dragon circling his body, looking heroic.
Seeing this, everyone snapped out of their daze and immediately scrambled to grab the streaks of light in the air. The most fiercely contested was a black conical magical artifact.
The conical and sword-shaped magical artifacts were the most prominent among the artifacts, and Qin Sang had actually been eyeing them from the start. After some thought, however, she decided to choose one that suited her.
She already had the blackwood sword, which was made of spirit treasure material. As long as she mastered the *Song Family Sword Technique*, it wouldn't be weaker than the chi dragon sword. What she lacked was a magical artifact that could help her escape in dangerous situations.
Qin Sang scanned the area and focused on a streak of light, which contained a pair of white wings.
Actually, Qin Sang had first set her sights on a pair of shoe-shaped magical artifacts, but a senior disciple was quick and got them first.
This senior disciple must have had the same idea as her. Feeling helpless, Qin Sang had to settle for the wings and grabbed them.
After each person had chosen a magical artifact, Leader Yi put away the others and gave each of them a jade slip, which contained information about the magical artifacts and the methods to refine them.
Qin Sang scanned the jade slip with her spiritual sense, her brow furrowing.
These wings were called the Cloud-Falling Wings, and their function was completely different from what she had imagined. They created a cloud to cover the entire body, concealing one's aura and form, making them a concealment magical artifact, more pure than the cloud-dodging technique.
At least it could be used to save her life, Qin Sang consoled herself.
Seeing everyone's delighted expressions as they held their magical artifacts, Leader Yi said calmly, "Distributing an excellent magical artifact to each disciple is a grand gesture that even large cultivation sects with Yuan婴 old ancestors are rarely seen to do. I imagine you have some doubts... The reason for this is that the sect has a task for you to undertake. Are you willing?"
Leader Yi paused, smiling at everyone.
In front of the leader, who would dare to say no?
Everyone looked at each other, holding their magical artifacts, and then all knelt down to Leader Yi, "Please give your instructions, disciples will do our utmost!"
Qin Sang knelt with the others, but her heart suddenly tightened. The sect had three Golden Core cultivators and countless Foundation Establishment cultivators. What task could require them, mere Qi Condensation disciples?
